ARC has created a space where the Christian faith is seen positively. But largely absent were the name of Jesus Christ, the gospel of grace, and the centrality of the church.

Although the dust has settled since I attended the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) conference in London in the middle of February, I’m still discombobulated, struggling to know what to make of the experience.
How do you judge something where you heard things that made you gasp “Wow!” (in a good way) and “Wow!” (in a less good way)? As a conservative evangelical theologian and someone interested in cultural apologetics and evangelism, I wonder how many (if any) cheers we should give ARC and the cultural trend it represents.
